[G]Beth-le-[D7]hem [G7] [C]
is my kind of [A7]town
No [Bm]matter what is [Am]born there[Cm]
C D Em (see tab) A7
Most men find their knees on the ground
C D G (see tab) B7
Most men find their knees on the ground
-Walk down from G to B7-
[G] [B7]

[C]Shes there by day-[A7]light
I [Bm]thought she was one of the [Am]children[Cm]
C D Em (see tab) A7
But now shes the mother of dreams I cant wake from

C D G Walk Down to Am instead of B7
Now shes the mother of night
The night [Am]lulls in
On [C]biblical [C7]lands
G D Em (see tab)
And it stands for all Im missing
And it [Bm]steals my [F]mind with a [C]half-[D]smile
And it [Bm]deals the [F]North out in [C]black [D]piles
And it [Bm]reels me [F]hard round the [C]past [D]while
I think [Em]maybe [A7]I could [C]belong [Cm]there, too
[G]Beth-le-[D7]hem [G7] [F] [C]
is my kind of [A7]town
With [Bm]rooftops where the [Am]tar is [Cm]warm
C D Em (see tab) A7
Where Iā??m so lonesome I could drown
And [C]no one would [D]kneel themselves[G] down
(Walk down from G to E7)
To fish [E7]me
[C]Save maybe [D]Beth
[C]Save maybe [D]Beth
[C]Save maybe [D]Betha-[G]ny
